How to Record Stock Adjustments in QNE AI Cloud

Overview:

Stock Adjustments in QNE Cloud Accounting allow users to manually update inventory levels due to various reasons such as stock count discrepancies, damaged goods, promotional giveaways, or internal use. This feature ensures that your inventory records remain accurate and up to date, helping you maintain reliable stock valuations and reporting.

Scenario:

You’ve just completed a monthly physical stock count and discovered that some items are missing, damaged, or incorrectly recorded in the system. To reconcile the actual stock on hand with the system quantities, you need to perform a stock adjustment.

Procedure:

1. Create a Stock Adjustment Entry

• Go to Stock > Stock Adjustments and click Add to create a new stock adjustment entry.
  
  

2. Enter Header Information

• Description - Clearly state the reason for the adjustment (e.g., inventory discrepancy,
  

damaged goods, expired stock, or stock take correction).

• Date - Select the date when the stock adjustment takes effect.
• Project and Stock Location – If applicable, select the associated Project and Stock Location to accurately allocate the adjustment.
  
• Reference No - Depending on your company’s practices, the reference number may come from, for instance, incident or damage reports, reference the corresponding report or internal memo. (e.g. for damaged goods (DAMG) + Day-Month)
  
  

3. Add Items for Adjustment

• In the Details Tab, select the stock item(s) that require adjustment.
  
• For each item, enter the adjustment quantity:
  • Use positive values to increase stock (e.g., found additional items).
  • Use negative values to decrease stock (e.g., damaged or missing items).

            The system will automatically compute the total value based on the cost and quantity.

• To include more items, click Add Lines and repeat the process.
  
  
• Once all items are updated, choose a saving option (e.g., Save, Save and New) to record the transaction.
  

Application:

Let’s say your warehouse team discovers during a monthly audit that:

• 3 units of Product A are missing,
• 5 units of Product B are damaged and need to be written off,
• and 10 units of Product C were used internally for a marketing display.

With QNE AI Cloud, you can:

1. Create one stock adjustment entry for all these items, 
2. Record the appropriate descriptions and quantities,
3. Keep your inventory records accurate and aligned with physical stock.

This accuracy not only helps your finance and audit teams but also supports more informed decision-making in purchasing, sales, and inventory planning.
